What causes hooded eyes?

Hooded eyes – having an extra layer of skin that droops over the eye crease, making the eyelid appear smaller and sometimes pushing it down – have various causes, including genetics, ethnicity, ageing, and lifestyle and environmental factors.

First, genetics: if one or both of your parents have hooded eyes, you’re likely – but not guaranteed – to inherit them. Second, ethnicity: if you belong to an ethnic group prone to having hooded eyes, you’re more likely to have them too. Third, ageing: as you get older, not only does your skin lose its elasticity but the muscles that support the eyelids get weaker, letting the skin sag down. Fourth, lifestyle and environmental factors such as smoking, sun exposure, and poor diet can cost you skin elasticity, which may mean you get visibly hooded eyes sooner than you would otherwise have done.

What do hooded eyes look like?

Hooded eyes are characterized by a fold of skin that droops over the crease of the eyelid, making the eyelid appear smaller and sometimes partially or fully covering it. Here are some key features of hooded eyes:

1. Overlapping Skin Fold: The skin from the brow bone hangs down and overlaps with the crease of the eyelid, creating a “hooded” effect.
2. Visible Brow Bone: The brow bone is often more prominent due to the excess skin.
3. Less Visible Eyelid: When the eyes are open, the mobile part of the eyelid is less visible or hidden entirely.
4. Crease Concealment: The natural crease of the eyelid is not visible, as it is covered by the overhanging skin.
5. Makeup Challenges: Applying eyeshadow and eyeliner can be more challenging because the lid space is reduced or obscured.

These features can vary in prominence, but the defining characteristic is the presence of the skin fold that covers or obscures the eyelid crease.

Can I strengthen the muscles that support my eyelids?

Strengthening the muscles that support your eyelids is worth a try – you’ll find plenty of exercises on the Web – but may not make much difference if your genes or your ethnicity have given you hooded eyes. The next step is to consult a dermatologist who can recommend tweakments that may help. Eyelid surgery called blepharoplasty is also an option if hooded eyes are interfering with your vision.

What does D.E.J stand for?

D.E.J stand for Dermal-Epidermal Junction.

What is the skin’s microbiome?

The skin’s microbiome refers to the diverse community of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microbes, that live on the skin’s surface. These microorganisms play a crucial role in maintaining skin health by protecting against harmful pathogens, regulating the immune system, and maintaining the skin’s barrier function. A balanced microbiome helps keep the skin healthy, while an imbalance can lead to various skin issues such as acne, eczema, and sensitivity.

What are prebiotics?

Prebiotics are non-digestible compounds that serve as food for beneficial bacteria, promoting their growth and activity. Unlike probiotics, which are live beneficial bacteria, prebiotics support the existing good bacteria in your body. In skincare, prebiotics help maintain a healthy skin microbiome by nourishing the beneficial microorganisms on your skin, enhancing its natural defense mechanisms, and contributing to overall skin health. They can be found in various skincare products aimed at balancing and supporting the skin’s microbiome.
